We come across a lot of mixes on a daily basis, and it’s usually impossible to pick a favorite. Then Diego Navarro comes along and makes it real easy for us. The Spanish-based musician has crafted a mix for JEROME, the new label from the online collective Classical Trax. Brutally beautiful, it captures a mood somewhere between the ambient tension of a shattered opera and the bleak finality of concrete dance floor liquid reflecting strobes. Ethereal, damaged sounds for ears looking to break free from four-to-the-floor beats—or just steady and predictable rhythms in general. Excuse us while we melt.
